Emigration records (Emigratie registers, Registres des émigrés)[edit | edit source]

Time Period: 1500-present.
Content: Emigrants’ names, ages, occupations, birth dates and places, residences, destination; wife’s and childrens’ given names and ages or number of children; reasons for emigration; taxes paid; religion, military service, etc.
Location: Provincial and municipal archives.
Population coverage: 5-10%.[1]

Surname Distribution Maps[edit | edit source]
Sometimes it is possible to guess where an immigrant originated through surname distribution maps.

A large group of emigrants left Wallonia to work in promoting mining and industry in Sweden. For more, see: Vallons in Sweden.
